(TFT) On-line TFT Gaming and Cyberboard

["Craig N. Setti" <craigsetti@yahoo.com>]

Craig/All Interested
 
OK, let me try to put something together (or enlist the aid of others who know it better that I) that I can offer the list as a resource that people can download and practice CB with. When I am done with this resource packet, I'll announce it on the list here. It may take a little while as I am busy, but it will happen.

Mr. Setti;

    I noticed your post to David/PvK (below) and would like to ask you if I 
could be included in the explanations of the online TFT as well.  I only 
found the TFT community a couple of weeks ago (Wikipedia is wonderful) and I 
suspect that I may not even have found all of it yet, but I'd enjoy playing 
a MELEE or AM game on-line sometime or someday!

    Thanks!

    Craig Barber

David/PvK,

I did have some problems learning CB to be sure. One member of our playing 
group was, at least relatively speaking, quite experienced with CB and 
walked us through some difficult learning curve periods. There are some game 
specific manuals on CB and I would be willing to review, to the degree I am 
able, how to use CB for those who wanted to contact me on it. I have only 
used CB at this point as a player, not as a GM who sets the initial game 
file up, so I know there is still a good deal of learning the inner workings 
of CB for me as well. It is definitely worth the effort I can tell you. We 
may have room for one more player or so in our group for the upcoming second 
game, but I would need to check in with the group before offering any formal 
invitations. If you are interested though, let me know as it would be useful 
to see what degree of interest exists within the TFT community for active 
on-line gaming. Additional games could be set up, waiting lists established 
for
fill-ins, a registry of TFT character sheets could be set up, there are 
many possibilities. Hope everyone is well, gotta run.

This is my problem.  I can't figure out enough to do anything, and am far 
too embarrassed to say anything first.

I think one of the largest obstacles to this kind of play is the fear of
the learning curve of the Cyberboard software - getting it set up and
learning how to use it. Is there a good step-by-step guide somewhere?
